[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Savoury.Monkey:
Hello!

I'm not sure if my question fits in here, but since i'm not allowed to post at the development section yet.. oh well.

Anyhow. I tried to make some changes on the Framework-Res.apk (values/dimens.xml) without success.

Apktool appears to be doing it's work like it should, but the resulting file is much smaller then the original one. (6,53MB compared to 10,1MB) So i'm not sure if i'm simply doing something wrong, or if it's Apktools fault?

Oh and all i was trying to do is making the navbar smaller on a stock rom.

Here's the output for anyone interested:

..apktool.jar if framework-res.apk

I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\..\apktool\framework\1.apk

..apktool.jar d framework-res.apk

I: Loading resource table...
I: Loaded.
I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources...
I: Regular manifest package...
I: Decoding file-resources...

..apktool.jar b framework-res

I: Checking whether resources has changed...

Hi

I successfully did the same thing,

The file size is correct, dont worry about it.

My problem was that i used wordpad.exe to edit the dimens.xml file which led to boot looping

Using notepad++ solved my issue

Good luck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Remi749:
SOLVED

Reason: Problem with network, tried downloading on a different network, and I could then access the link...

Hello, I have a problem with the download link for this:

[ROM/4.1.2] [Jan 18 2013] MIUI 3.1.18 Jelly Bean v4.6 | Soft-Nav

If I try to click on the download link for any of the releases, I just go to a blank page and not much happens, and then after a while I just get a connection error with the page.

I was wondering if it was just me or if any of you guys have the same problem.

The link I'm trying to access is this:

Version 4.6:

Download with GApps included

Noen of the d-h.st links work for me, I've tried to open them in different browser such as IE10 and Chrome but don't get anywhere, it's different though if I try to open the link in IE10, It's trying to access api.viglink.com, and after a while I get the message: "This page can't be displayed"

So if someone has the file and can upload it somewhere, know of a mirror were I can download it or any other way around to get it. I would be very pleased.

I posted this thread cause I couldn't reply to the original thread for the:

[ROM/4.1.2] [Jan 18 2013] MIUI 3.1.18 Jelly Bean v4.6 | Soft-Nav

Since I'm not allowed to post because of the 10 post policy, I had to make a thread here.

And just so it's clear, I have a HTC Desire.

And one wierd thing is this:

http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/3-1-18.19335/

I can't even see the original Desire here, nor in the MUI device category... have they dropped support or is there something I'm missing?
[Nexus 4 General] wilcoholic:
I am just wondering what the longevity is for the nexus 4. Will I be able to use it for at least 3 years cause I am done keeping up with the joneses

But the nexus 4 does have a few shortcomings that makes me thing it will not have that much longevity. To name a few

- storage is only 16gigs

- camera is not the best on the market

- no lte

- launch is a huge failure. And it makes me wonder if the community is going to pick up some steam or if people are holding out for the N5 or the S4

How future proof is the nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 General] NardVa:
You can hold on to the Nexus 4 as long as you want. For some the phone may fit their need for 6 months and for others the phone may fit their need for 3 years. You have people still using the the Nexus One that came out in 2010.
[Nexus 4 General] PoisonWolf:
In my opinion, yes. I see this device as being relevant for at least 3 years, and no less. There will be faster things in 3 years, that's no question. But this device will remain relevant due to Google's software support and it being a Nexus device, XDA's unconditional support in the long run.

Second, it will also be useful for at least 3 years due to the awesome LG tech sprinkled in which bumps up the 500-full charge cycles to 800 cycles before the battery starts capping off at 80% of its original charge.

Things like storage, camera, etc, that's really a personal choice for you. For people who don't need it, the N4 is a no brainer. I've personally been more than satisfied with the camera.
[Nexus 4 General] marnel47:
I wouldn't say the launch was a failure. Actual Demand far exceeded projected demand this is a win in my eyes. Was the launch frustrating, yes but that does not equate to failure ;)
[Nexus 4 General] chiewable:
Smart phones are slowly getting to the same point at desktop PCs. You will be able to perform most basic functions on a older device with gamers and geeks demanding the latest and greatest hardware.

A friend recently picked up a sgs2. She does not game and is a light user and the phone runs fine.

The only thing that you might want to upgrade early for is lte.

Full disclosure: I live in canada so I already have a lte n4 :p
[Nexus 4 General] TacticalDesire:
It depends on ones usage. There's still plenty of people perfectly happy with the Galaxy S, iPhone 3GS, Nexus One etc. And those devices are approaching 3 and even 4 years old. And those are single core phones with 512mb of RAM or less. A 4th of what current devices are coming out with. I'd imagine the crop of dual core phones with 1gb+ of RAM released in 2011/12 will last just as long if not longer. Dual core still has yet to be completely saturated and now we're coming out with quad core phones. Software still has plenty of catching up to do. I'm fully expecting to get 2-3 years out of my Nexus 4 with my current usage.
[Nexus 4 General] Bar81:
The person who mentioned the SII above is exactly right. Most good smartphones from the SII on will be fine for years unless there is some specific application that requires something that only a newer phone will have. Personally, I held onto the SII for a couple of years and expect the N4 to last as long if not longer (mind you my boss and a lot of people still have blackberries/"smart"phones that are ancient and are perfectly happy). The only things that might require an upgrade is if you are really into pictures and use it as your primary camera and need LTE; then again if you bought the N4 with a view to keeping it for a while, I am guessing that neither of these apply to you.
[Nexus 4 General] wilcoholic:
The lack of replies have made me seriously consider the iphone 5. I opened this topic yesterday and I only got like 6 replies. I am wondering how long this device is going to last since the community right now is nonexistent. If there is no community for this phone then the phone has zero longevity.

At least the iphone 5 is going to be supported for a while and has that longevity.
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
The Nexus 4 will be supported by Google for 2 years AT THE LEAST, probably more.

I will determine how long i am going to use mine when i FINALLY get the f*cking thing!
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
No community? What? This is a Nexus, bro. The community is just getting started. It is the main reason I bought this phone.

Maybe you should get an iPhone 5. I think it would suit you.
[Nexus 4 General] ScottyNuttz:
The Nexus 4 has all the raw power required in a smartphone for the foreseeable future, but the x-factor is what other things will be added to phones in a year or two. New sensors that have compelling use cases or new radios that allow a new kind of connection will be the things that cause this phone (and each of its contemporaries) to be less usable
[Nexus 4 General] Nexonian:
Maybe because everybody already answered in one of the 10 other threads with this topic.

There are already far more than 200.000 posts in the Nexus 4 section of XDA. Not bad for a device that is barely 3 months on the market. Official support for a number of custom roms (including Cyanogenmod) is already there and you are talking about a nonexistent community?

Hm... I think I am feeding a troll here? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] wilcoholic:
Wrong. Its a nexus with a failed launch, with rumors of a nexus5, finger pointing and the galaxy s4 right around the corner. And it already lags behind other flagship phones in terms of specs
[Nexus 4 General] biffsmash:
The phone will last until it breaks. I'm guessing five to ten years?

Come on, we used to have phones for years, with zero updates, and were perfectly happy.

Galaxy s2 does pretty everything my nexus 4 does and probably more, it's just a little slower.

With this phone as it stands now, with zero new updates, it'll last as long as you want or need.

Only way you might want new features is if you buy into samsungs touchwiz enhancements like split screen etc.

edit: As for lagging behind other flagship phones in terms of specs? You mean the Droid DNA and the Butterfly J? Because they are the only phones I can think of that are out now, with any kind of jump on the Nexus 4 hardware wise, and they are only available in the good old U.s of A and Japan? please...
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Haha. You're stupid.

You are using rumor and opinion to make a point. Therefore there is no reasoning with you. You only want to argue and make drama. Have fun with your iPhone 5.
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
What a ridiculously useless thread.

No one has any clue how well the Nexus 4 will hold up after 3 years. It hasn't even been in our hands for 3 months.
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
I couldn't agree more. Thread reported.
[Nexus 4 General] kid1da:
What phones does the nexus 4 lag behind? The DNA and note 2 are the only 2 right now I can think of that the hardware matches up to the nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] wilcoholic:
Ok whatever. Thats not the point. The point is is that the specs of the next gen phones are already out and their are going to be released pretty soon. And at this moment the community of the nexus 4 still hasn't picked up steam 3 months after release.

I and many others are thinking with next gen phones right around the corner would it still be wise to get an outdated nexus4.

iphone5, note2, sgs3
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
The OP is either is either extremely uninformed or a master troll. I can't tell which. This is hilarious.
[Nexus 4 General] kid1da:
Well some people don't have their phones yet, this could include devs. This happens every year. New phones with new specs get released every 3 to 4 months. This is nothing new if you know android.
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
this phone is not for you. it has no reason to prove otherwise, if you wanted this phone you'd already have it. I had mine the day after launch, T-Mobile came through and I've loved every moment I've had with my nexus. I didn't even root it until a few weeks ago.
[Nexus 4 General] kid1da:
I'll no longer respond to you after mentioning the iPhone 5. Nonsense.
[Nexus 4 General] shockem:
If you are going to argue most of the statement others have provided you there will never be a solution. You can either accept their information so as to get the nexus 4 or you can choose not to do so and keep being negative and go for another phone. Your call. I hope I'm not offending you, but I think decisions have to be made rather than considered.

Also,

Do you mean the nexus 4 being future proof for the next 3 years or whether it would be able to handle that amount of usage without dying out?
[Nexus 4 General] muffstic:
Couldn't have said it better myself
[Nexus 4 General] kangi26:
Only you can determine when your device is no longer working for you, and how long you THINK that might be.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsumner:
I am trying to get my Exchange server setup to use client certificates for authentication. I got it working on a old Nokia E72, if there isn't a bigger insult to Samsung than that I'm not sure what is.

The stock samsung email client I can't get to work with the client certificate. It just gives me "Unable to connect to server"

I tried the TouchDown client and had it up and running in no time at all. But I don't really want to spend the money on replacing the mail client for everyone. I gave Enhanced Email a spin (I actually have a license for it but never use it). A little bit of a pain to install the certificate but no problem. I suspect (but can't yet prove) that the stock Google client would work a charm.

Does anyone know if I'm missing something in the stock client, or is there any other good solution for all my users. I suppose if the stock Android client works I could root everyone's phone and change the email client but I don't really want to do that!

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Bassbase:
Thanks

Cheers for the replies guys. i'll try some other cables and see if that was causing the problem!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Geekybiker:
One further thing to check is your TV settings. On my TV for example you had to enable the port in the TV settings before you could even switch to it. Also depending on what the port was defined as it may or may not pass audio. Worth digging around in your TV menus.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] VbSin:
Snow/Noise

I have a rooted KFHD. Get frequent snowing effect on the TV when using the HDMI cable. I believe it is the cable, but have read everywhere that HDMI doesn't get noise/snow. So could it be the device or the port?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] mrkhigh:
Snow doubtful.... but snow in general is doubtful

Is this hooked direct into your tv or is there a box between.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Kindle Fire HD and 2 HDMI Port

Bassbase,

Yes, we use it weekly in the office on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and a Kindle Fire HD 7", it works flawlessly on a 72" TV which we use for presentations with sound and at home I use a HDMI Converter on an old TV at home, it too works flawlessly with Netfix and Hulu. What apps are you using? Have you tried Hulu or Netflix? I can say Root is not needed to make the HDMI Port function properly nor does Root affect the HDMI Port. If you give me the App name we will test it in the office.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
EDIT: sorry misread - try 7z never failed to work for me:)

it should "output" a " file which you can the unzip and extract the "update.zip" - your pc antivirus will see the decrypter as a trojan, maybe its preventing it from running???
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] percy5911:
hey guys im new 2 android community... ive a galaxy note 2 GT-N7100 International version bought in India. Recently ive been thinkin 2 root my device for various mods like copyin/ installing games on memory card etc... so i wanna know wat software should i use 2 mod my device?? Also i wanna know if its safe??? Ive heard that rooted devices leads to void of warranty... is that true???

thanks in advance....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiahnlliya:
You should use the wonderful Note2 ToolKit, found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923956

Yes, rooting it voids your warranty. But you can flash back a stock ROM and unroot if you need to take your phone in for service.

All modifications have risks. Though rooting probably won't break your phone, an user error on your part just might, or malicious code might. You can never know that! You have to be careful and use your best judgment. Rooting is basically like logging in to a computer with an administrator account, you can change all the system settings and as a result you can really screw up your system if you are not careful.

I'm just saying all that to clarify that if you do root your device and mod it, have an accident and screw something up, it's your own fault. You need to always keep that in mind.

When you download the toolkit, the first thing you need to do is:

1) EFS backup

2) Full Nandroid backup

Do those two things first, then do whatever you want. If you have EFS and Nandroid backups you have a safety net in case something goes wrong later on.

Also: read, read, read. Read every single Note II guide and FAQ you can find here on XDA.

Best battery life yet

This is the best battery life I have seen yet..granted, I haven't really put it thru it's paces..but w/ 4.2 on my s3, all the kernels eat battery...even on idle..w/ this...i'm at 95 percent on idle mostly after 1 hour but today at work i'll use it much more so will really put it thru it's paces..but idle is most important to me because if I get to like 45 percent i stop using it as much so it can last the rest of the night w/ no "oh no, where is my charger!" moments (i'm using row i/o and gov interactive default min/max is 1.350) I usually use pegasusq because i notice it has good idle and responsive awake state...but interactive on this kernel is doing really well and it was default..where ondemand is usually default..so i'm guessing the dev of this kernel likes interactive best....I wish devs of kernels would say...here is what I like for battery saving.....here is what I like for a balance....and here is what I like for performance....and here is what I like the best (favorite) or something like that, i know it's experemenation process..but..they tweak the govs..so they must have a favorite setting thing! lol
